Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[ribuck]

That's correct, johnw.

As the photo shows, it's one of the sunniest places in England. "Sunny Hunny" they call it.

[johnw]

Lots of interesting places in the UK. Long time since I visited, hopefully again one day.

USA:

Glacier Bay NP, Alaska USA

[sandym]

I will start the bidding with Alaska.

[johnw]

I will start the bidding with Alaska.

You've narrowed it down. Which location in Alaska?
You don't need to name the glaciers, just the locality.

[johnw]

This NP is named for its land and water system.

[johnw]

This major NP is not on the "outside". I've posted from around here before.

[sandym]

Glacier Bay NP

[johnw]

Glacier Bay NP

Yep, yours Sandy.

[sandym]

A fairly popular hiking area in the US.

[sandym]

Hint: Peaks are in a wilderness area that borders two northwestern US states.

[sandym]

Hint #2: Lucifer would be happy in this wilderness area.

[sandym]

Hint #3. In biblical tales a certain reptile offered an apple and a river of the same name is nearby.

[johnw]

Only possible with the clues. Seven Devils Mountains, Hells Canyon Wilderness.
Above the east bank of the Snake River, which forms the Idaho-Oregon border.

[sandym]

Yes, close enough. Was looking for He Devil - the name of the peak in the photo - but that is good enough.

[johnw]

Yes, close enough. Was looking for He Devil - the name of the peak in the photo - but that is good enough.

Thanks, wasn't sure how detailed. Haven't been there so would've needed further research.

I'll make this one fairly easy, still on the North American continent:

Overlooking the Hoodoos and Bow River towards Mt Rundle, Banff NP Alberta Canada

[sandym]

Gotta be Mount Rundle over the Bow River probably from Tunnel Mountain or the hoodoos track.

[johnw]

Gotta be Mount Rundle over the Bow River probably from Tunnel Mountain or the hoodoos track.

Correct. From memory I took it from either the Hoodoos Trail, or the trail that starts from Hoodoos Viewpoint. Back to you.

[sandym]

Apologies for a *&%$#! picture, it is scanned from slides.

In NZ. Should be easy, peak and valley names please.

[johnw]

No takers, and I have no idea. It does remind me a little of the Hooker Valley but I don't think so.
To get the ball rolling I'll start with the Matukituki Valley.

[sandym]

But, you are right with the one the first guess!

[johnw]

But, you are right with the one the first guess!

Well that was the equivalent of aiming at a dartboard blindfolded .

Let's try another one from NZ then:

Overlooking Lake Dispute from just off the Mt Crichton track near Queenstown, Otago New Zealand

[johnw]

There should be no argument about this one.

[johnw]

There is a much bigger lake to the right.

[johnw]

South island

[johnw]

Otago

[icefest]

One would think this is near the hand of steve's son.

[johnw]

One would think this is near the hand of steve's son.

I have no idea what that means. But there is disagreement about the name of this lake.
I could always drive my little 70's Leyland SUV to a different lake just up the road.

[johnw]

This has gone on long enough. 403 views, several clues and not a single guess, and it's even in NZ.
I'm wondering if this version of the game has finally run its course.
It's Lake Dispute near Queenstown. Anyone can go.

[eggs]

I knew roughly where you were John, but lacked time and inclination to hone in on it.
Life is rather busy at the moment.
Part of the reason I generally try for "fairly easy" ones so the turnover can occur without too much lag time.

Lets try this one from Europe

[sandym]

Gotta be the Matterhorn.
